I'd like to think it's a tank for growing cloned human hybrids.
I tried to read the logo, but can't make it out apart from the "esse" at the end.
Actually, there's a couple of weird things about the outside too:
There's a disturbing wooden door under that window on the left that leads under the house. Definitely a dungeon.
Also, the weedy area in the bottom left has has been Photoshopped. Heavy handed use of the Clone Stamp tool. The weeds along the dark strip at the bottom of the building are all identical in shape and perfectly spaced. There's other replicated patterns in the weeds on the paving too. Something is being hidden.
It's hardly a steam room or something like that? The second half of the name of it is visible on the door. Tantalising.
Ah it's not awful as such, just very dated.
It's a Vitesse tanning booth.

That would have been a fine house in its day, and well beyond the means of most people.
You can tell it's cold when you see arches blocked up and off centre doors added.
I bet the outside door in the wall leads to a sex dungeon and the tanning booth was to ensure the owners looked well for the orgies.
Is the ceiling of the living room wallpaper .... it looks like it.
There are multiple passive dehumidifiers dotted around the house.
Pun wasn't intended!

We all hate wide angle shots but I think I'd have made an exception for this listing. It's hard to get a proper feel for the place.
BER F - tells you all you need to know.
At least the same again to be spent on it to rebuild it to modern standards, not to mention banishing the hideousness.
Ah no.
You know you're getting narrow rooms.
It's a lovely house, but I wouldn't like to be straight onto the main road.
Here's a corner of this room, a corner of that room and a corner of the other room. 😂
That Shannon house has a slight medieval castle vibe arguing with dated 80s vibe. Dunno, if there was a dungeon you could have done sort of themed place.......
That site with the mast, presume Vodafone pay rent?
For heaven's sake - its in a quiet cul de sac, not a quite cul de sac. Unless there are degrees of cul de sacs.
You can nearly smell it from the pictures, there are some high levels of mank in there for nearly half a million.
Someone would want to cut down that tree at the front door of that Shannon house pretty soon. It will grow through the roof if not.
I wonder what happened owners died maybe a few years ago and was just sitting unused.
Oh look at that! I hadn't seen it, it needs to come out some years ago. Trouble is its a cordyline and no matter how you cut them down they will grow again from the base, it would need to be cut and poisoned.
“That site with the mast, presume Vodafone pay rent?”
Streetview shows an ESB substation beside the mast.
Looking at the site on Land Direct, the substation and mast are on a patch of land that has its own folio, separate to the one for sale. So it’s possible the ESB own the land with the mast and substation.
You would want rocks in your heard to buy that site.
it would look like Hiroshima circa 1946 when they pull those trees out
The ESB structure just appears to be powering the mast, I wouldn't be that bothered about the mast, apart from visually. If a couple of rows of mixed deciduous trees and understorey were put round the site they would be well grown by the time the conifers came down, and they are not all that likely to be replanted with conifers. Its a decent price for a couple of acres.
Not a very appealing house but once planning is granted it should be easy enough to get something more interesting.
They were my thoughts on the place exactly. I went up there as I was passing and my God it was windy up there! 2KM further up the road, not a puff!
The house that they got planning for is pure 90’s bungalow. Finish the exterior with that coloured pebbledash, plastic fascia and chunky plastic windows and you’ll be transported back.
Even with the wind, if the site wasn’t so much lower than the road, I’d be tempted. Build the garage first so I could stick a caravan in it and they look to change the planning to drop a Huf Haus on the site. I can dream, I suppose.
From your post I decided to look at that ad and everybody saying that it is a vodafone mast/arial is wrong. I'm not sure what the mast is for but it does not have mobile phone transmitters on the mast.
StreetView to the rescue.
Seems to be a school entrance right next door, and its grounds run right to the back of the house
You do get a bonus religious statue mounted to the side of the house.
It's an old (circa 1900) and fairly small house; what you see there is more or less all there is to it. Pretty standard layout; four rooms up (one being the bathroom) and four rooms down (the kitchen cum dining room occupying two of them, and then two small sitting rooms on the other side of the centre hall/stairs), all fairly close to the same size (with the bathroom being a bit smaller due to the upper flight and landing on the stairs).
Abbey Street isn't the main through road in town, but it's busy enough, and you've also got the girls' primary school in your back garden, so a bit of noise there. On the plus side, it is basically right in the middle of town and only 100m from the Aldi and the SuperValu, so quite convenient to everything.
If I had to live in the middle of a town I could quite like that house. My main concern though was how do you get at those hanging baskets?
It’s on the comreg map as a Vodafone mast. That’s as far as my knowledge goes though. I couldn’t pick a transmitter out of a line up 😂
I'm not familiar with site prices or the difficulty getting planning in the area, but is 50k a real bargain?
I know it's a big site but to have the site surrounded by forestry and to have a mast practically on the site, I wouldn't have thought it's a great buy.
Again, not familiar with Kilkenny in general but from daft, there's quite a few sites in the 60-75k range that would seem way nicer sites.
It’s the size that attracted me initially, most other sites are half acre. And usually on top of another house. I presume the forestry will replanted with more forestry in the future. Wouldn’t mind trees as neighbours.
Nice cosy little place if you don't mind sharing your back yard
with the farmer.................
Killeen, Dunsany, Co. Meath, C15NV60 is for sale on Daft.ie
Presume the current owner is going to build a new drive next to the existing one to access the yard? Another family member would have to buy the place, who else would?
That place is miserable. Has had absolute minimal upgrades since 1960s.
Massive use of fish eye lens to make bedrooms appear bigger.
Stove stuck in corner of kitchen beside oven with open vent at ground level for air requirements
Being sold as site really per description
